Y-Cable for dual LED modding

This 12-inch Type 2 Y-cable splits a single 3-pin fan header to power two LED strips or fans. It is designed for PC builders who want to add matching lighting accents without using extra motherboard headers. The cable simplifies custom-loop or air-cooled builds where symmetrical illumination is required.

Limited by 3-pin voltage control

The 3-pin connector regulates speed and brightness through voltage, so both attached devices share the same signal and cannot be addressed individually. PWM control and per-device colour changes are not supported. The 12-inch length restricts placement to components near the same header or fan controller channel.

Check header spacing and device count

Verify that your motherboard or controller has a free 3-pin header and that you intend to run exactly two 3-pin LED strips or fans from it. Builds needing more than two devices, PWM control, or longer reach between components will require a different cable or a powered hub.

Questions about this item

What length should I choose for this Y-cable?

The cable is supplied at 12 inches (30 cm), a single fixed length that suits most internal LED runs.

How many LEDs can I run from one motherboard header using this cable?

The Type 2 Y-cable splits one 3-pin fan header into two connectors, letting you power two LED strips from a single header.

What does the 3-pin connector limit in practice?

The 3-pin fan connector carries power and tachometer signal but no PWM wire, so fan-speed control is voltage-based only.
